In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0354.html, Smylers said that the overall default should be "text/javascript", and pointed out that the algorithm was for parsing, not authors. This allows further simplification, and I suggest replacing step 1 of http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#running0 with the following """ The script's type is determined by the value of the script element's type attribute. A type attribute which is either missing or equal to the empty string indicate the default value of "text/javascript", for ECMAScript. Otherwise, the attribute's value (which SHOULD be a valid MIME type) is used directly. For backwards compatibility, if the type attribute is missing (not just empty, but missing), user agents SHOULD also check the language attribute. If language is present (and not equal to the empty string), then the script's type is treated as "text/" + the value of the language attribute. """ -jJ
